This morning I was patching our 939 KS (MPE 5.5) with patch MPEJXT0.  Everything
went along just great until I got to the instruction to build a 60000 byte
file.  When I did that, the system responded that I didn't have enough free
space to build a file that big.  So then I did a DISCFREE A and was told that I
had 1 block of 100000 = 1,887,694.

So then I called the Response Center.  The engineer had me run CONTIGVOL twice
and try again.  Still got the error.  Then I purge a bunch of log files, ran
CONTIGVOL again and this time I was able to build the file space and continue
with the patch.

My question is, does anybody know what the computer was really trying to tell
me?  I was so relieved when it finally worked that I forgot to ask her what had
happened.
